A Thousand Thanks Card

Hello all! Nicole with CIP here to share a very clean and simple card with you. I am super excited to be sharing projects for the next few months! I am a cardmaking gal so you will see lots of CAS cards using our wonderful Creative Inspirations Paints! 

Today's project features a fall-feeling thank you card. You can never have enough thank-you cards in hand, right? I played with some fall colors from the collection and laid them out on a very simple background to pop those colors out.

As you can see in the picture above, I wanted to leave some textures on those feather die-cut pieces, so I stroke my brush in different directions. I used Antique Copper for the bigger feather and stroke the brush sideways. The smaller one is colored with our lovely Mocha Latte and I painted it in downwards. As a finishing touch, I added couple of Jeweled Inspirations SS30 Clear on the bottom of the card.

These two colors are very soothing and capture the fall-feeling perfectly. This card would be perfect for any men in your life :) Hope you enjoyed today's project! Thank you for stopping by!!

Inspired By: Autumn Colors - Happy Fall Card

Hi CIP fans! Dana here today sharing a fall themed card for the Autumn Colors Challenge this week. I love patterned paper, so I chose a pretty leaf print and highlighted the design with several colors of Creative Inspirations paint.

I used Burnt Clay, Chocolate, Copper, Emerald, Rustic Red and Sunshine paint to help some of the leaves shine. I added some Clear Jeweled Inspirations for a little extra sparkle.

I made a pair of resin leaves with the NEW Resinesence and then painted them with Raw Sienna and Rustic Red paint.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Ribbon and Bling Birthday Card

Hi CIP fans! Dana here today sharing a small card for the "Ribbon and Bling" Challenge theme this week. One of my favorite features about Creative Inspirations paints and glitters, is the subtle shimmer. I love that I'm able to create colorful projects with an elegant finish.

I dyed the seam binding with Turquoise Paint. I covered the white flowers on the card with Resplendence Angel Dust Glitter. This glitter is super fine for a fabulous iridescent shimmer. I added a Jeweled Inspiration to the center of my bow for a final pop of bling.

Thanks for stopping by today!

A Laugh is a Smile - A Mixed Media Canvas

Hello CI Paint friends! Today I have a canvas I made using lots of CI Paints and some Jeweled Inspirations. 

I've had a recent obsession with making canvases that have flowers on them. I had these hexagon mistable pieces from a kit which I colored using Fuchsia, Lavender and Rose Quartz paints. The centers were painted with Autumn Wheat and Buttercup. 

I made the stems from book tape which I painted on with Evergreen and Green Olive, and then tore into strips. The leaves are made from joint tape cut into leaf shapes. 

Fine Black Deliquesce, a Versamark ink pad and a cutout with the sentiment on it was used for the words. And of course I had to add the butterflies since I love them so much. They are painted in Garnet and have Clear Jeweled Inspirations in the centers. 

Other textures such as stamps, acrylic paints, more joint tape, modeling paste, a stencil  and a sketch pen were used around the canvas as well. With mixed media pieces you can't go wrong with texture. The more the better. I've found you can use various items found in your house for texture, such as tape, bubble wrap, tin foil, fabric, cups, the bottom of shoes, and more. The key is to have fun and get messy! 

Below are the CI Paint products used on my canvas... 

Don't forget about the Inspired By Challenge that Diana is hosting. We are on week 2 of the Ribbon and Bling week! Check it out HERE! 

Have a great day!

Inspired By: March Facebook Challenge

Hi CIP fans!  Dana here today sharing a card inspired by the current facebook challenge. I used the card sketch and beautiful color palette to make a Spring-themed thank you card.

I embossed the flowers with Platinum Deliquesce. I added some extra shine to several of the flower centers with Clear Jeweled Inspirations.

Flamingo Sunset

Hi there CIP fans!  I have another Valentine card to share with you today, and I've used lots of shimmer and sparkle from the Creative Inspirations Paint store.  I started by embossing the image with the Deliquesce Black embossing powder on watercolor paper.  For the sunset I've used the Inspirations paints in Sunshine, Buttercup, Mango, Orange, and Pumpkin.  I've glittered the flowers and leaf with Resplendence Burgundy and Angel Dust, and then added a bit of bling with the clear Jeweled Inspirations in two sizes (SS30 and SS34).

Here is a closer look at the CIP products that I've used:

A Very Special (and Shimmery) Thank You Tag

Hi, and Happy Friday! It's the end of the work week for most, and the start to the weekend... I hope you all have some fun plans! I work on Saturday, but after that, I will be doing some creating in my studio. 

Today I have a tag to share that I colored with some gorgeous Creative Inspirations Paint. 

I've been on a tag kick recently. They are great for adding to cards, placing in cards, attaching to gifts, or just hanging up in your home. I plan on attaching this one to a card. 

The tag is a large shipping tag that I covered with some black spray mist and then covered with Coal paint. I added three coats of the Coal to ensure it was covered on both sides. I also added some water to it to thin the paint. After the Coal paint dried, I used Lavender along the edges of the tag, as well as in various spots around the tag. Lavender was also used on the Prima flower. 

After the sentiment and flourish stamps dried I attached my flower and a few clear Jeweled Inspirations. 

Below are some close ups of the shimmer!! 

Below are the CIP colors and Jeweled Inspirations used for my tag. 

Thank you for stopping by.... I'll see you Monday!! 

A Joyful Canvas

Good morning and Happy Christmas Eve to everyone! I hope you are all ready for tomorrow and are able to spend some quality time with your loved ones and friends. 

I wanted to make today's post quick since everyone is preparing for the big day tomorrow, or already in the middle of some festivities! 

Today's project is a canvas I made for my boyfriends mom, Joy. She loves Christmas, and has one of the most beautifully decorated houses I have ever seen! Since her name is Joy and ornaments and decorations with the word Joy are in abundance this time of year, she has a tree decorated entirely with Joy ornaments. Also, there are various pieces of art around the home that have the words Joy on them. Which is why I made this canvas. The Joy isn't just the word joy, it is Joyeux Noel. We don't remember her having many French phrases around the house, so I thought this would be cute. 

As you can see it has lots of Creative Inspirations Paint on it. The background, tree, tree trunk, and tree top are covered in CIP goodies! There are even some jewels on the Joyeux Noel. 

I used the following paints and jeweled inspirations on the canvas: 

Thank you so so much for stopping in today from your busy schedule!! I will see you again after the New Year!!! 

Merry Christmas!!!! 

If you would like to get some paints before the start of the new year, remember that everything in the CIP store is 10% off!!! 

CIP - Reindeer in Paint and Glitter

Hi CIP fans!  I have a trio of cards to share with you today.  These fun little reindeer die cuts are from a die that I've had for a while, and I've used some wonderful Creative Inspirations Paint in Copper to paint them.  Their hooves and antlers are painted in Chocolate, and the antlers have been glittered with Resplendence Angel Dust by Creative Inspirations Paint.  I couldn't resist adding a bit of Garnet paint to the collar, and added some of the Jeweled Inspirations (Siam and Clear) Bling to their noses and collars as well.

Creative Inspirations Products Used:

Don't forget, the 10% off sale is still going on at the Creative Inspirations Paint website through the end of the month!

All My Love

Hi CIP fans!  Dana here today sharing a clean and simple card that I created with some leftover flower packaging and some odds and ends from my stash.  The brilliant rhinestones are Clear Jeweled Inspirations.

I used Coal to stamp my sentiment as well as the heart, which I then colored in Garnet.  I added some shimmer to my flower petals with Blue Ice and Winter Frost.

Thanks for stopping by today!

A Simple Hello

Hello friends! Emily here on this fine Monday with a Clean and Simple card I made using some of the bright and cheery Creative Inspirations Paints. 

I made today's card using the Gingerbread Land collection by Niki Sivils for this card along with Rose Quartz, Blush, Mint and Sage CI Paints. Even though this is a Christmas Collection, it can be used for more than just Christmas or Holiday projects. The colors were so bright and cheerful, I thought this particular pattern would make a great card to say hello. 

I used the Rose Quartz and Blush paints on the flower, letter stickers and the scalloped die cut strip . The leaves have the mint and sage paints on them. In addition to the paints I used some Jeweled Inspirations  on the scalloped die cut. 

You can see all of the glimmer of the paints in the close ups below. 

I've created a collage of the colors used in the card below. 

I also wanted to remind you of this awesome deal going on over at the CIP website!!
